Five Sardinian destinations to discover in summer, from Costa Smeralda and the Gulf of Orosei to La Maddalena, Stintino and the south of the island.
Costa Smeralda — style and sea
Porto Cervo, Porto Rotondo and the surrounding coastline are known for clear water, beaches, hospitality and evening life.
For travellers based in north-east Sardinia, the area is one of the best-known landscapes of Gallura.
Gulf of Orosei — nature and adventure
On the east coast, cliffs, caves and beaches create a landscape best explored by sea or on foot.
Cala Luna, Cala Mariolu and Cala Goloritzé are among the best-known destinations.
La Maddalena Archipelago — islands and coves
The archipelago offers clear water, granite landscapes and protected coves.
La Maddalena and Caprera add a strong historical dimension to the island landscape.
Stintino and La Pelosa
In north-west Sardinia, La Pelosa is known for shallow turquoise water and the historic tower overlooking the beach.
The nearby Asinara National Park adds another reason to explore this part of the island.
Villasimius and Chia — the south
In southern Sardinia, Villasimius and Chia combine sandy beaches, dunes, rocky coast and protected marine areas.
They offer a very different landscape from the north-east of the island.
